Default Need Suspension, Installation. HELP!

Ok, the time has come for suspension on the Red Woo. I'm sick of body roll and dorky-high stance. I need help.

Here's the plan, and the plan will be executed within two weeks tops, as I have money and time to myself.

For shocks I want Koni sport shocks all the way around. At $413.00 from eBay, you can't really go wrong. For those with experience, is there a large difference between the cheaper KYB variety and the Konis, and does anyone have anything good or bad to say about them?

For springs, I want H&R Sport Springs. They lower me how much I want, they're inexpensive, and they seem to be of good quality. I've also heard good things about them.

The parts for the project shouldn't cost more than $650.

Heres where the questions arise.

Fitment:
Will the Konis and H&Rs fit well together, as well as fit my car? Will I need a camber kit?

Ride Quality:
How rough are we talking? I don't mind a solid suspension and a stiff ride, but in the next four years, I'll be driving between Clearwater and Gainesville every few weeks and I don't want my kidneys to bleed.

Installation:
I could probably get it installed myself, but my lack of tools and location to work make it a tough task, I'd rather just pay my mechanic to do it right. Does anyone know the ballpark estimate of how much I should pay to have the things installed?

Thanks for all your help guys.
